Walk Type

Hill & Mountain walks
Routes on Harris can take you to some craggy and vertiginous spots, so you need to be sure you have a head for heights if you want to go high. As always, I tailor the route to meet your requirements.

Moderate Walks
Sometimes walkers want to follow a gentle route and take a closer interest in flora and geology, for instance. That's fine, and I will plan a route accordingly.
